Labyrinth Ensemble

Toronto’s foremost maqam group, the Labyrinth Ensemble, has spent four years dedicated to experimenting with and promoting modal music traditions of Central, West, and South Asia, and the Mediterranean.  Coming from various areas of experience and musical backgrounds, the musicians learned to master new ways of hearing, performing, and thinking about music.
